10 little things to overlook in a relationship

When you're in a relationship, you may not compromise on certain things. But there are others you can let slide. Here are ten little things to let go for a happy, healthy relationship.

Sometimes, it’s only natural to draw comparisons with your past relationship, but it’s doing more harm than good. You have to let go off those unnecessary comparisons to your exes, if you want your relationship to work.

Both of you invariably will have certain habits that annoy each other, don’t let these things work against you. If he chews too loudly or forgets to use a coaster, it’s alright. Let it go.

Know that his past is in the past. Unnecessarily citing something he did in his past relationship won’t help you ‘win’ an argument.

Don’t always wait for him to apologise first (even if you think he was at fault) because that’ll just cause unnecessary tension. If it’s inconsequential, it helps if you overlook it.

Accept that perfection doesn’t exist (no matter how ‘perfect’ it seemed in the beginning) and once you overlook the minor things that don’t matter, your SO and you will be in a happier place.

When you’re having an argument, don’t remind yourself of what he said the last time and use it as ammunition to fuel the fight. He was in a different mind space then and so were you.

You can’t expect each other to spend all the free time you have with one another, you aren’t joined at the hip. Spending time apart from each other allows you to grow as individuals.

Isn’t a healthy relationship just like teamwork? If you stay together, household chores are a great example of synchronised partnership. Don’t pick an argument with him just because he forgot to bring the groceries this week, he’ll remember next week.

Sometimes, you won’t be able to keep an appointment and sometimes he won't be able to. It’s not cool to resent him if he can’t make date night once in a while.

Lastly, if he doesn’t comment and like ALL of your posts, please don’t hold it against him. His behaviour on social media doesn’t define how he feels about you.
